Hey Myspace Pals...

Just wanted to drop a line and let you now about the series of workshops we're doing for the next month or so. They're called "Make Something!!" and we're working with public schools and local youth mentoring programs, doing art classes in NY, LA and SF (30 classes total). The teachers are all artists associated with the Beautiful Losers film (or surrounding posse). We started a few weeks ago and I have to say it's been a blast so far! Below is a schedule for the remaining workshops. The actual classes aren't open to the public, but all the work made is on display in the spaces and is definitely worth a check if you're around.

Hope all's well...

Aaron

Statement of Purpose: Working with public school art programs and youth mentoring programs, MAKE SOMETHING!! workshops invite local youth to experience creative learning in a non-traditional setting. Workshops focus on subjects such as painting, sculpture, photography, tattoos, music, animation, zines and assorted other subjects that relate to DIY (Do It Yourself) culture. The walls of each "classroom" display many of the works created on-site, and will hence become an ever-evolving gallery of young ideas in artistic practice.
